Maag's Full House Better Than Makhija's

From under the gun, Amit Makhija raised to 100,000. Action then folded all the way over to Nicco Maag in the big blind and he min-reraised to 150,000. Makhija reraised to 400,000 and Maag called.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Maag checked. Makhija bet 450,000 and Maag made the call.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Maag checked. Makhija bet 675,000 and Maag tank-called after a few long minutes of thought.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and both players checked.

Makhija turned over the {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, but that was no good against the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for Maag. Maag won the pot and pushed over six million in chips.
